is this tall enough to cover quarts? or just pints?

I got mine at end of season, so haven't used it. However measures 9 inches from rack in bottom to edge where lid sits. A quart jar is about 6.5 in with lid in place. I am sure this is more than adequate and much better than my old one.

I measured it across the top and it is 9 1/2" . It does hold 8 quarts however and I am really pleased with the quality of construction. Hope this helps your decision.

no, it is big enough to do pint jars. It works fabulous for the pints. I think I get about 5 in at a time. Due to the space needed between the jars for proper circulation of the water. good luck.

Yes, they''re perfect for quart size jars. I find them a bit too long for pint, but perfect for quart.

Be Careful! The 6 quart Presto model is barely tall enough to accommodate the height of a pint mason jar with seal and ring attached. The total volume of the vessel is not the issue here, it's the physical dimensions, in this case the height!!!! My 6 quart Presto allows me to can 4 pints IF YOU TURN THE SPACER UPSIDE DOWN AND PUT 4 QUARTERS UNDER THE SPACER TO KEEP THE HEAT FROM THE BURNER FROM POTENTIALLY BREAKING THE JARS!!!!! The quarters allow water between the bottom and the spacer. These units really should not be used for canning, there are other reasons.

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

Hello.I just filled mine up and measured. It holds 1 pint, which is the customary size served in Britain.

seven quarts. you can fit 10 pints but its tight, so probably better off with 9, but you can double stack with an extra rack.

I can't imagine this could help, but I have an 8 quart which measures 10 inches diameter and 5 inches high. I have several other sizes of this brand and style and find the general configuration is wider than most other brand, relative to each pot's height. LOVE them all.

It is tall enough. Pot is a little over 9 inches in height. Hope this helps. Good luck.

just measure it. I use mine with larger jars and coffee carafes. mine does not fit onto a wide mouth quart jar.

The pint and quart size tops are the same size but if you look at the 1/2 gallon you will see that it is much bigger and will only fit that size container.

It is 71/2 inches tall and the hole is 7 inches. I bought the double pint to put feed for my cats and the 2quart for water. It is a nice size for food for a dog and water. Cats do not like their whiskers to touch the bowls when drinking. Least mine don't . lol

The difference appears to be volume. The item listed here is one pint (smaller & lower price). The item you're comparing it to is one quart (larger & higher price).

The pint will be adequate to cover the 40 sq ft area twice at least, probably more. The variable will be whether you are covering new wood or are refreshing. Either way, apply lightly, work in and then wipe off excess. Multiple coats yield best results in my opinion.

Never tired, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've used pints, half pints and quarts. Supposed to be able to stack the pint jars but I've not tried that either.

Fewer would fit, naturally, but the height of the canner would allow 1/2 gallon jars, so I would say it is possible. I haven't tried 1/2 gallon jars and the instructions in the manual only give times for quart and pints.
